It's classic looking back from our view.

我们回首历史其实这是很典型的行为
It's patently ridiculous that there were many,

当时涉及交易牲口的文章远远多于
many more times articles dealing with the sale of cattle

有关女权的文章
than there were of the rights of women.

这当然有些不可理喻
This isn't too surprising, because Napoleon--

但这并不令人震惊由于拿破仑
as many dictators, including much more egregious ones

如二十世纪的极端独裁者一般

比如墨索里尼和希特勒
viewed women as nothing more than machines for producing babies.

女人在其眼中除了造人机器外一无是处
He said this.

他说过这样的话
He said this exactly like that.

表达了完全相同的意思
Yet, and that's a big yet, the Napoleonic code survives

然而拿破仑法典得以留存
and remains in many cases the basis for the French legal system.

并在很多案例被保留为法国法定基准
